My Son Has Been Gluten Free for 3 Years. Today I Had My First Meltdown About It

 
 
I hesitated to write this post because I don't want to sound selfish, or callous, or like I'm complaining, but I figure that if I'm feeling this, someone else may be feeling it too.

Gluten Free living has become such a normal part of my life that I somehow completely missed the fact that my son has now been gluten free for 3 years. Quite the milestone, considering he's just over 4 and 1/2 years old. Since the start, I have tried to be positive about his diet because to be honest, I was relieved that we figured out what was making him so sick and that it was something that could be managed. The truth is, yes it required an overhaul of our diets, but natural gluten free food is readily available, so I started meal planning to ensure that my son ate a variety of delicious food. I cleared out the cupboards, researched what it meant to be gluten free, started this blog, and reached out to the GF community for support.
